[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2384382, member: 493719"] Good question [USER=524382]@Andy_Warlow[/USER] Pre DX I used to eat regularly, 3 meals plus snacks But all cheap enough Once DX'd I made huge changes I tried the more exotic ingredients for LC recipes etc .. None of which personally was worth the effort Poor cook. Yeah, but I gave it a go. End result is I now usually eat twice a day. Breakfast egg bacon etc or yoghurt n fruit And quite often skip that and wait until evening meal. Now that meal can be more expensive, steaks, chops, lamb usually, chicken, mince etc And decent veg. But none of it breaking the bank And compared to the 3 meals plus the snacks and the more common takeaways, I think this is cheaper overall. I have many times cooked a meal and used half next day The "belly gets fuller, quicker on LC" fills me up so I don't always feel the need to eat everything in one sitting Think point was made it settles down once you find your sweet spot meals, I agree To;dr Seems like it at first, But once you find the foods you enjoy I think it's as cheap, if not cheaper. Do agree that foods got more expensive Missus said same other day. [/QUOTE]
